#世界杯冠军预测 This quarterfinals featured a “European siege” — Europe took 6 spots, while South America had only Argentina left, and Morocco was Africa’s lone representative. Traditional powerhouses like Brazil, Germany, and Portugal were knocked out in the Round of 16, reflecting a loosening of the sport’s established hierarchy. Norway, driven by Haaland’s two-goal performance, made a historic run into the quarterfinals, while Switzerland returned to the quarterfinals for the first time in 72 years. However, the real title-contending voice still lies with France, Spain, and Argentina. In the upcoming semifinals, France and Spain are highly likely to meet early; the winner of that showdown may well be the eventual champion.
